On November 13, 2016, we reported that "General Hospital's" Rick Hearst (Port Charles' Ric Lansing) will appear in the upcoming twelfth episode of the CW's "Dynasty" reboot. The episode is titled "Promises You Can't Keep." So far there is no information on his character, only what the actor teased in an Instagram post, "My most challenging role yet. A conservative Republican." Dynasty was just given a full 22 season episode order by the CW. The show is a reboot of the 80s primetime soap which follows two of America's wealthiest families, the Carringtons and the Colbys, as they feud for control over their fortune and their children.

The new version is told through the perspectives of two women at odds, Fallon Carrington, the daughter of billionaire Blake Carrington, and her soon-to-be stepmother, Cristal, a Hispanic woman marrying into the family. The show not only features the glitz and glamour of extreme wealth, but also exposes the dark underbelly of a corrupt world built on backroom deals. The show stars Grant Show (Blake Carrington), Nathalie Kelley (Cristal Flores), Elizabeth Gillies (Fallon Carrington), James Mackay (Steven Carrington), Alan Dale (Joseph Anders), Sam Adegoke (Jeff Colby), Robert Christopher Riley (Michael Culhane), Rafael de La Fuente (Sam Flores) and "GH" alums Brianna Brown (Claudia Blaisdel, Lisa Niles on "GH") and Elena Tovar (Iris, Rosalie on "GH").
